the vessel which has 600 people on board. france has now also offered to help by taking in some of the migrants. jon donnison reports. unwonted, homeless, but at least save. turned away by italy and malta, for more than 600 african migrants aboard the aquarius, they are heading to spain. they are due to arrive in valencia tomorrow and now france has offered to take some of those on board as well and process their asylum claims. finally, something to celebrate. after what has been a terrifying journey, they were rescued off the coast of libya as their votes broke up coast of libya as their votes broke up and even now they have had to face difficult weather. we started going towards spain hit by a four metre waves which were crashing over

nicaragua could be nearing an end in the latest incidents, an arson attack killed six members of the same family whose home was burnt down after a group of hooded men threw molotov cocktail. there were peace talks between the government and opposition representatives reached an agreement during talks brokered by the roman catholic church. talks are continuing, as david campanale reports. finally a breakthrough in nicaragua. in peace talks brokered by the roman catholic church, both sides, the ortega government on one hand and representatives of civil society and never have reached an agreement to end the violence. the truth

commission will be established and human rights investigators are to return to the country. the government will invite international organisations, big un, the eu, the general secretariat of the organisation of american states to accompany us in the strengthening of the peace talks. the protests began in april of a controversial changes to the social security system but they quickly boiled over into widespread angerfor the they quickly boiled over into widespread anger for the government of president daniel ortega and demands that he should resign. masked radical pro—government paramilitaries are believed to be responsible for the numerous deaths of young demonstrators though human rights groups say police gunmen have also been active. the pictures were filmed by residents of a working—class suburb of the capital we re working—class suburb of the capital were ortega, a former socialist gorilla, once had unwavering support. with talks reliant on the role of the church where his priests

have put themselves in the way of street mylan is to broker local ceasefires, there is a long way to go before any sense of a stable peace can be declared. the opposition to the government want to see a raft of democratic reforms put in place and fresh presidential election is called in the near future. so far, president ortega has shown little sign of wavering on that front. the former boss of france telecom and six other members of his team will face trial over an alleged culture of harassment that led to a series of suicides at the firm. they are accused of making life deliberately unpleasant for employees — so they would leave of their own accord in order to cut 22,000 jobs. the firm's former head didier lombard has denied any link between his strategy and the loss of life. in one case an employee jumped out of a fifth floor window in front of colleagues, and another is said to have stabbed himself in a meeting. a 12—year—old british boy with severe epilepsy has been allowed to receive treatment using an illegal form of cannabis oil.

billy caudwell‘s mother bought the oil in canada to help control his seizures — but it was confiscated on her arrival at heathrow airport. she says the substance is the only thing that controls her son's potentially fatal seizures. the british home secretary sajid javid said he used "an exceptional power" to issue the licence for billy's treatment. that allowed customers to return the confiscated item to the family. my experience throughout this leaves me in no doubt that the home office can no longer play a role, in fact play any role, in the administration of medication for sick children in our country. i truly believe that somewhere in the home office there is someone with a heart and i truly believe that believe was pulling on the heartstrings. one of glasgow's

most architecturally important sites has been left devastated by a fire. firefighters say it's too early to determine the cause of the blaze, which started in a wing of the world—renowned school of art late on friday. the mackintosh library was undergoing restoration after being destroyed in a previous fire in 2014. while no one was injured, scotland's first minister nicola sturgeon described the incident as "heartbreaking". it is hard to find the words to describe what it feels like, to look at such an iconic building, notjust an iconic building in glasgow or scottish terms, but a building with significance for people right across the world. four years ago i was struck by the outpouring of support globally for the mackintosh building. we are starting to see that again today. the oceans of antarctica are full of unique animals that scientists hope could hold the key to some major global problems. researchers spend months diving in the freezing waters.

they then bring back interesting creatures to the uk to study. our science correspondent, richard westcott, has been given special access to the british antarctic survey in cambridge, where they keep their amazing finds in a freezing store. up top, antarctica is a frozen desert. but venture beneath the ice, it's waters are teeming with life. —— its waters. creatures that hold clues to how the animal world will cope with climate change. well, we've been given a rare, behind—the—scenes glimpse at some of the creatures scientists have brought back from the uk to study. and there are some bizarre animals, believe me. this is one of my favourite creatures. so, it's just like the other starfish we were looking at. except one obvious, and very obvious, difference. can you flip it over, so we can see the mouth? yeah. this one maybe, it will take

a whole limpet into there, in fact it might well have something in there that it's feeding on. studying these animals could help save lives. from the sea spider that can grow as big as a dinner plate, to the starfish that looks a bit like bagpuss. many are full of natural anti—freeze that could be useful in the medical world. the humble sea lemon has no predators. the chemical putting them off might also fight cancer or infections. so, there's a range of animals within the antarctic, from things like this to sponges and other animals, that live and grow on the rocks, they could potentially have really important chemicals for human society. so it's like the rain forest, where you find medicines? absolutely, yeah. you go through the ice, and suddenly it's all pitch black and then, as your eyes adjust, you look up and you've got this amazing ice cover with these colours of browns and green, it's like this almost sort of cathedral—like feeling. and then obviously, i sink to the bottom, start my work, and i could be anywhere. living in 0—degree waters makes these animals grow much slower,

but bigger than usual. so, this is the same group of animals as the wood lice you find in your garden, but obviously one major difference it is pretty big. and this is another example of polar gigantism, so where animals because of the cold, because of the cold water they live in, can actually be bigger. from health and food supply, to the impact of warmer oceans, these animals are helping us to understand the world our children will grow up in. richard wescott, bbc news, cambridge. the brazilian national team is returning to world cup competition on sunday, four years after the infamous 7—1 loss in the semi—finals against germany in rio. while brazil is one of the favourites to win this year's cup, the football—obsessed nation is still haunted by what happened, as our south america correspondent katy watson now reports from sao paulo. it isa

it is a scene brazilians would rather forget. the it is a scene brazilians would ratherforget. the moment when it is a scene brazilians would rather forget. the moment when their world cup dreams turned into a nightmare. suffering their worst defeat in history. four years later and brazilians are trying to move on, not that it is easy. i have come to the kabul museum here in sao paulo to try to get an idea ofjust how important the beautiful game is to people here in brazil that this isa to people here in brazil that this is a monument to brazil's ‘s popular sport and the footballing heroes. 2004 of the year that most people would rather not think about. hopes we re very would rather not think about. hopes were very high will stop now we are kind of like embarrassed, we are scared, we do not want to play against germany and berry scared for it. i know, everybody lost hope in foot ball it. i know, everybody lost hope in football in brazil. it was very sad, the whole year will stop there is a room in the museum that talks of a bigger tragedy. 1950 when the

country bigger tragedy. 1950 when the cou ntry lost bigger tragedy. 1950 when the country lost 2—1 to uruguay. in the words of the narrator, this was the moment that brazil's heart stopped beating. there are two ghosts that warned brazil in the world cup. the players who will be in russia, maybe they have in their luggage 230 million brazilian people with them. it is like this. and this, it can cause a very big pressure. in a sport where only victory matters, that pressure is only natural. when you are in the brazilian national team, you have to get used to it. there is no way around it. in need a lot of self—control and learn how to manage your emotions to be in this

tea m manage your emotions to be in this team and deliver on the pitch. it is a big expectation and a lot of responsibilities. these young players are not too despondent. they do not remember 1950 and have already forgotten 2014. we are definitely going to do all we can to win the cup this year and we're just hoping the best. it would be so exciting to see my country win a world cup. weather on the pitch or in the street, football is part of brazil's de na. even for these kids who were not born when brazil last one in 2002. they think there is only one team deserve it of the cup this year. brazil. 31 may not be a milestone birthday for most, but it's a big dealfor one giant panda in mexico. shuang shuang is the world's longest living giant panda outside of china, the offspring of two pandas given

to mexico by china in 1975. although officially considered a geriatric in panda years, shuang shuang didn't seem at all fazed about getting old, enjoying a relaxing day with plenty of snacks on hand. and our main story is from the world cup. iceland — the smallest nation ever to qualify for the tournament — have pulled off a major surprise. they held mighty argentina to a draw with lionel messi failing to score a penalty. don't forget you can get in touch with me on the team on twitter. we are always keen to hear from you. with me on the team on twitter. we are always keen to hearfrom you. —— me and the team. saturday's weather was a little hit
